Just took laxatives again...STUPID.

[sparkleandfade]

I just purged and decided that I needed to take laxatives after too, even though I was in urgent care this weekend because of laxatives...I was severely dehydrated and needed an IV. Why do I do this to myself?? I really can't risk this shit cause I have had kidney failure in the past and they're really sensitive. UGHHH. So nervous now. I hate this.

Hey lady,
Just a quick message to say hi, can't write a lot but stick in there.
Don't feel horrible about yourself, there's always a tomorrow.

You might want to think about throwing out all the laxatives you have right now so that your not tempted to take them again for a while until things clam down some. If you don't already see a therapist maybe you might want to talk to someone about why you feel the need to use them when you know that they hurt you in the long run.

*I have to take what I just wrote also cuz I am struggling with laxative use right now also. So I know its a lot harder to do it then to say it.*

I wish you the best!!!

I am a laxative addict. Right, keep your self hydrated, drink lots. You need to stop doing this or you'll start shitting yourself by accident or not being able to go unless you take laxatives. you'll be like a 90 year old woman at the age of 30.

I totally sympathise with you. I have just thrown out all my laxatives after I took 16 yesterday. For the whole of yesterday and today I felt like absolute shit. I know they are so addictive and you feel like you need them, but they will hurt your body SO much, especially seeing as you've been in hospital and have had kidney problems. If you carry on you might get damage you can't reverse. Do you take them to feel like you're losing weight? I take them to FEEL thinner and to avoid eating...the pain really puts you off eating/drinking anything. I agree with the other comments, PLEASE throw them out. Severe dehydration is very serious and your body can only take so much. If you want to talk please get in touch, I will listen as much as you want me too. I am trying to recover but am struggling quite a lot at the moment. xxx

I take them after I feel like I eat too much to get it out of my body faster and more efficiently and to feel thinner and also because it is hard to eat anything when you have taken them with the pain and all. So we're on the same page ha. Thanks for the advice!!! I hope you all get better too

[boba91]

Yep totally. I have never been to the hospital for laxative abuse...what happened? I have taken lots of laxative OD's but I'm not sure what damage I might have done. Soon after I left my first comment I ate something I didn't plan, felt disgusting and went to the bin to try and find all the laxatives I'd thrown away. They were too far down and covered in rubbish for me to save, but yes, I do understand! You will get better too one day! If you want to! xxx
